Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cups sugar cookies, crushed into crumbs
Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Press the crushed sugar cookies firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust layer.
- Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, mixing well. Then add eggs one at a time, incorporating each fully before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy and homogeneous.
- Assemble and bake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared sugar cookie crust in the pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 40 to 50 minutes or until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before removing from the pan and serving.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Press the cookie crust evenly to prevent cracking during baking.
- Do not overbake the cheesecake to maintain a creamy texture.
- Chilling the cheesecake thoroughly enhances flavor and texture.
